Back-to-school resources.📚

As a new school year approaches, EngAGE is proud to support families with children in our affordable housing communities!

Our whole-person approach means providing high-quality programming including school readiness programs that engage the youth, and the parents.

According to Housing Solutions Lab, studies show that affordable housing can reduce parental stress and can improve parenting capacity supporting early childhood development, school readiness, and social-emotional skills.

By offering EngAGE programs on-site and at no cost, we help families gear up for a successful, creative, and healthy school year together.

Summer & bikes go together like a horse and carriage - or so they say!☀️🚲

Our Bike Safety & Repair Shop was a community event focused on promoting bike safety, education, and support for the children and families in our community.

A special part of the event included a dedicated senior resident volunteer who generously donated his time and skills to repair children’s bikes. Throughout the event, more than 30 bikes received repairs ranging from minor tune-ups to major fixes, ensuring children could safely enjoy riding again.

Salem, OR Fire Department also partnered with us, generously donating more than 50 helmets for children and teens. Fire department staff took the time to properly fit each child with a helmet and shared important information about why wearing a helmet is essential for safety while riding.

The Bike Safety & Repair Shop made a lasting impact on our community and was a wonderful example of community members and local partners coming together to support youth safety, encourage healthy outdoor activity, and provide valuable resources for families.

Kindness is a ripple effect!

A few of our EngAGE communities are participating in incredible "Pay It Forward" projects.

Residents are using their talents in our creative arts classes to create beautiful artwork specifically to be shared with local organizations supporting people in need—including those facing homelessness and domestic violence. It is a beautiful way for our residents to contribute their unique gifts and bring joy to the wider community.

Teaching Artist, Meriel Stern, brings generations together through the timeless art of ceramics. During each workshop, older adults and children work side by side, sharing ideas, learning new techniques, and encouraging one another as they transform clay into unique works of art. Moments like these foster meaningful relationships built on creativity, patience, and mutual respect.

Willam, Leo, and Grandpa are supporting each other through fun and skill building!

Support EngAGE as we change lives by transforming senior and family affordable housing communities into vibrant centers of learning, wellness, and creativity.

Sunshine Club at Terrace Glen☀️

With summer heat rolling in, the EngAGE Northwest kids were more than ready to get outside and play. That energy is exactly what sparked our latest weekly club gathering.

The vision was co-crafted and brought to life by one of our very own young residents, nine-year-old Ali. He was so incredibly excited about the club’s concept that he designed a vibrant flyer, which he proudly hung around the building to invite all his neighbors.

Thanks to Ali’s promotional teamwork, we had a fantastic turnout. The afternoon was a quintessential celebration of summer, packed with outdoor games, drifting bubbles, colorful sidewalk chalk art, and plenty of water activities to keep everyone cool. Of course, no summer day is complete without a classic frozen treat, so we capped off the fun by passing out delicious Otter Pops to all our happy, sun-soaked participants.

The true magic of the Sunshine Club goes far beyond just bubbles and water games; it is deeply rooted in the meaningful way our young residents are stepping up to lead. Seeing Ali take ownership of the club at just nine years old by creating the flyers to establish an incredibly positive tone for the entire week.

His enthusiasm proved to be contagious. Throughout the afternoon, it was deeply moving to watch our young residents become wonderful influences on one another. Without being asked, the kids actively looked out for each other, treated one another with immense kindness, and even worked together as a team to clean up the area when playtime was over.

By empowering our youth to take the lead, we aren’t just giving them a fun summer—we are watching them build a kinder, tighter-knit community from the ground up.

A true neighborhood is built organically through shared experiences. That is why EngAGE classes are always complemented by community-building activities, festive celebrations, and supportive social networks.

By creating spaces where neighbors can laugh, learn, and grow together, we are building inclusive environments where every resident is appreciated, respected, and valued.
